       So, this passage from Luke tells us that the women who were coming to the tomb on Sunday morning we in fact bringing the spices that they had began to prepare on Friday afternoon it would seem, and then they rested from evening Friday until the evening of Saturday. So, when the women arrived at the tomb of Jesus on Sunday morning, they saw that the stone they thought they were going to have to get moved away was already moved out of the way. And that may have alarmed them because they may have feared that someone had disturbed the tomb. Since Jesus’ crucifixion had been such a public event, a lot of people knew he had been crucified there. But John tells us after the women had seen that the stone had been rolled away, that Mary Magdalene “ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him” (John 20:2, ESV). So, Peter and John went to the tomb, and, of course, they went in, seeing the body was gone, and saw the linen clothes.
